When it comes to high quality audio, Sennhesier has a place of its own. Its best is right up there with the flagships of Bose, ATH, Beyerdynamic and Sony. The brand's headphones generally have a more balanced out "closer to audiophile level" sound. And if you like that sound, there is terrific news - Sennheiser has released its Accentum series in India. These are its "budget premium" headphones - top class audio at slightly more affordable prices!
❤️
The first Accentum headphone to be hitting the Indian market is the Accentum Plus, a Bluetooth headphone with ANC. It starts at Rs 15,990, which might strike some as expensive, but hang on, it is actually being seen by many as a 'lite' version of the rather phenomenal (and much more expensive) Momentum Wireless 4! Those are high audio expectations, and judging from what we have heard about them, the Accentum Plus deliver a fair bit on them.
The design sticks to the recent understated approach that Sennheiser has taken (after the flashy metallic Momentums) and the headphones claim to come with Sennheiser's trademark balanced sound. You also get touch controls on the ear cups similar to that on the Momentum Wireless 4 (aha!), good ANC with a transparency mode, and a very good 50 hours of battery life. There is also a very comprehensive accompanying app.
We have not used the Accentum Plus yet,, but are delighted to see the Accentum series in India. At Rs 15,990, the Accentum Plus could potentially be the perfect headphones for those who want great wireless sound but do not want to spend more than Rs 15,000 - in short, they could be an alternative for those who do not want to splurge on the Bose QC and/or Sony WX series but still want high quality wireless audio, We are keeping our ears open. Stay tuned,

Have been looking for some headphones lately, was hesitant to spend Rs 20k+ on the QC45 or Rs 26k for the XM5s
When you get a chance to review the Accentum series, do also compare them with Senheiser QC series and the Sony 1000-XM series if possible. I want to know if XM5 are worth the extra 10k or so as compared to Accentum Plus

While we are waiting, would you like a comparison between the QC45 and the 1000 XM5?

I would suggest for the xm4 its better compared to the xm5. The sound quality is almost the same for both xm4 and xm5. Compared to xm5, xm4 is small and is better for carrying. Xm5 has better anc. So i can recommend xm4 instead of xm5.

Would want to future proof if putting in this much money. Not sure if there is any differences in terms of the bluetooth version and supported codecs.
